How nice is it to have a meal that is low cal, tastes good and requires almost no thinking/time to prepare. Each packet is only 100 calories. Simply empty the contents into a microwave-safe bowl, fill that packet with water up to the water line (2/3 cup) and add to the bowl. Then microwave for 90 seconds. Maple & Brown Sugar is my favorite. No mess!! No brainer!!

third favorite:

I know not everyone wears statement necklaces, but if there was ever a time to start it would be now!!!! The Tribal Necklace is made with genuine leather tassels which un-clip from the top bar leaving a chic gold collar. It catches eyes and makes a huge variety of looks super special. Click here to order yours! Oh! And you probably want to stick the Aida Tassel Earrings in your cart along with the Gilded Double Wrap Bracelet! Both divine!

My new corkboard

My friend, Blake, is a graphic designer and made this for my monthly newsletters. I can pin all my inspiration for the month for you to see!! Gah!!! I’m so excited and think she did a spectacular job recreating a picture of the actual pin board in my office (see below)–plus she added my branded push pins! Love them and thank you so much Blake!!!!

Last weekend I surprised Brian for a quick trip to Houston to see his brother Kevin and Kevin’s fiancé Lyndsie. We hadn’t been on a little getaway since January 2015 when we went to Vegas for a few days (you can see my Vegas posts here and here), and we had an absolute blast!

I posted this picture of my ‘Saturday at 2 PM brunch’ on Instagram because it was so incredibly delicious. Texas toast with guacamole, egg whites, smoked salmon and micro greens. Yasssss!

I know my mouth looks so weird in this pic, but in the other one my hair looked weird. This was the lesser of two evils.
